I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling the entire Arduino IDE and made sure my file path was correct when I downloaded the BasicChat example. This did the trick and I got it to work, I think I had somehow created too many subfolders within the avr and the IDE didn’t know where to look. Hope this helps for anyone who had the same issue.

Does anybody know why the example code in the “Hookup Guide” won’t compile correctly for me. I have Arduino 1.0.5 and the latest version of WinAVR. I have followed the tutorial verbatim and all has been well up until this point. The example code seems to be saved to the right locations and the Arduino IDE sees the ATMega128RFA1 dev board, but when the code is compiled it throws multiple errors mostly stating “this variable was not declared in this scope”. I’ve researched and tried all the obvious fixes.
